infogalactic is vox day, he just forked wikipedia because of wikipedia's woke bias. So it's mostly same articles (forked) but then they have a few manually edited.

I think we talked about this before, there were some older talks about creating a federated wiki (or wiki ecosystem).
http://fed.wiki.org/federated-wiki.html
https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Federated_Wiki
Seems like such a platform needs to be created. Basically like lemmy but for wikis, or wikimedia + lemmy code = new wiki?
A block chain would actually work fine as a wiki. Because a block chain is just a append only database. So would git.
I'm not sure how to handle left wing activist spending all their time being the editors and page lockers. People who value truth generally don't spend their whole life on wikipedia. trannies do though
Yes we talked about it months ago. I contacted them to see if they wanted volunteers. Their team is like 4 people including Vox. They never replied to me on Gab, and their FAQ/Roadmap was vague on their direction...
This new announcement by Larry seems more transparent IMHO. He is asking for an open competition to set up alternate systems... could be federated, plugin, whatever. He has been critical of Wiki, that he co founded with Wales for 10 years now
Its a lot of publicity, plus competition is always good, right ? I am kinda hoping this will bring fresh energy and maybe some working prototypes that everyone can try out...

I don't know... I mean its AN alternative yes, but their goals don't line up...
Especially this Reddit style upvoting for the best 'correction'. I had this idea too, but he's the first one who has spoken about it.
I tried getting in touch with the Infogalactic team when I joined Wolfballs many months ago. Didn't hear back.
I am just not sure who their audience is. If its just the Conserva-sphere or if they intend it as Wikipedia 2.0

My 2 cents is initially it could be simple... a torrent that runs in your browser
The torrent contains text files to overlay when you visit Wiki and small images. Small size and feeds the data to the WikiFail plugin
A Wolfballs like instance to upvote changes people think make sense, updates the torrent daily
